Italian Sausage Sandwich
Kelvin C.

Always delicious! The sausage with grilled onions and mustard is the best. Snappy sausage is flavorful and juicy. The onions are sweet and is perfect with the sandwich. The chicken tender was meh. Nothing special, very underwhelming.

Recently I added some meat back in to my diet, and Portillo's hands down has the best chicken sandwich! The drive thru was both friendly and fast. The exterior is very clean, and looks to be a newer location. I'll definitely return when in the area or stop at one of their other locations as they have a plant-based dog I do when avoiding meat or this when I can tolerate some meat. A great meal no matter the choice!

This was on our must try places to eat considering 90% of the restaurants that we've tried lately have been terrible. Portillo's did not disappoint. We were in the area for a medical procedure that I was having done so we came in to finally try it. I ordered the cheese burger combo with no sauce it came just the way I ordered it. The meat patty was not over seasoned like alot of burger places and the French fries were served nice and hot not too salty. My boyfriend ordered the same thing and enjoyed it alot. We didn't get a chance to try the chocolate cake I was already higher than a kite from being sedated from my neck injection and just really needed to lay down. We loved the decor inside the store itself was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. I'd recommend the Gilbert location they don't seem to disappoint and it's great for large groups.

This is how the Beef & Cheddar Croissant looked at first glance. Where's the cheddar?!

I'm generally a fan of Portillo's. I like this new location since they have an abundance of booths and offer touchscreens for ordering. The Good: *I love their chili cheese dogs. They have generous amounts of chili, the dog has a good snap to it and the poppy seed bun is always fresh. *I joined their rewards program and was pleased to see items drop into my account - like a free slice of cake for my half birthday and a free Italian Beef sandwich for no reason at all. We really appreciated that. *I attended an event to try their salads (something I normally wouldn't order) and was pleasantly surprised at how fresh and good they were. The Not So Good: *I tried something different (the Beef and Cheddar Croissant) and was quite surprised by the lack of cheese on it. I even went up and asked an employee because at first glance, it looked like someone barely sprinkled any on it. They explained that they put most of the cheese wrapped inside the beef but even after I dug around it seemed minimal. For an ingredient that receives co-top billing in the sandwich I thought that was kind of a ripoff and probably wouldn't order it again. My husband and son love the Italian sausage and Italian beef, and since I enjoy the chili dog and the great rewards program I'm sure we'll be back.

Food - Italian beef. I thought it had good flavor and wasn't too salty. The bread had a nice spongy texture to it. The bread wasn't soggy. The beef didn't have a lot of fatty pieces, which I liked. Here's how they describe it on their website. "[Their] famous, homemade, Italian beef is slow-roasted for 4 hours, with a blend of Italian spices, thinly sliced, and served on fresh baked Turano French bread. Customized to your liking by adding home-cooked sweet peppers, hot giardiniera peppers, and as much of [their] secretly-spiced gravy as you'd like! The peppers are extra. You pay extra for the peppers. They also say the following on their website. "The standard sandwich is served by splashing a bit of [their] flavorful, secretly-spiced gravy on it. Some like their sandwich "dipped," which means [they] dip the whole sandwich in [their] gravy. You can also order it "dry," with very little gravy. Why do [they] call it gravy? Because it's actual gravy, just like grandma used to serve: [They] use the beef's natural gravy that comes off of it while roasting for four hours." Their gravy is good. It is not thick. I found it to have a more runny texture, which I did not mind. The gravy had flavor and was not overly salty. I recommend getting it on the side so your Italian beef sandwich doesn't get soggy. If you eat fast that you can get it dipped or wet. Atmosphere - No strange or strong odors or smells. I did not visit the restroom. It was a little busy inside. Many the tables were filled. Service - I was able to order on their electronic kiosk at the front. I loved the large screen. The service here was fairly quick. Order and pay at the counter or kiosk. Self seating. You pick up your order at the second window. Parking - Surface parking lot. No parking meter or parking structures. Would love if they have covered parking with solar panels or plants in the future. Unique - Extremely large kiosk offering screens. Loved it. Did not see a health rating on Yelp. I like seeing the restaurant health ratings. Seemed clean and organized when I visited.

French Fries

I love me a good Chicago dog! It always brings back memories from my childhood. Portillo's makes a decent dog. All the toppings were fresh which made it good. The hotdog didn't have much flavor and kind of disappeared in each bite. The fries were also decent. I tried hubbies Maxwell polish and it was good. If I return, I'll see if I can swap out the polish for the hotdog. Loved the store decor and oldie but goodie music. Takes you back in time. As I type, I think I may go grab a chocolate shake to go. I'm sure it'll be a sweet ending to a sweet day date. If the shake is on point, I'll leave the review as is. If it's not, I'll come back to update it LOL.

Pretty cool. Quick stop - I had never been inside a Portillo's. The last time I ordered from one in Tucson they got my order wrong and I couldn't eat my sandwich because they added cheese. I went with a coworker, we both enjoyed ourselves. We didn't wait long. My first time in San Tan village.

Can't get enough of this location. This was a random pull into the drive-through to grab an Italian beef and a Chicago style hotdog. On point as always.

Meet a few buddies here for dinner and beers and Brews did not disappoint! Good local beer…read moreselection and creative burgers. The menu also has wings and salads and everything looked good. I went with an Orange Blossom beer and the Bourbon Trail burger. The burger was good, without overpowering flavors. The burger is really a delivery for the toppings here, which included grilled onions, fried onions and a bourbon aioli. It was good but I'll probably try something else next time because they have so many burgers to choose from. I think they normally have sweet potato tots but had fries at this time and they were also good. Generous portion of fries next to the mountain of a burger. We also tried the cheese curds which were good. They had a little spice to them but I think you can get them without spice. The place was packed for a bit but it's a small hole-in-the-wall kinda place. I'd definitely go back again.

I want to like this place…read more.. Beer selection is awesome, but the burgers leave a lot to be desired. They nuke these to well done on one of those auto burger press cookers. The beef quality sub par: Lack of flavor and weird mealy grind that has some inedible chunks in it. It seems like bargain food service ground beef. I know ingredients cost is out of control especially for beef, but for $17+ a burger I expect to be able to define the cook I want with some type of local beef, a good blend like chuck + brisket, or wagyu. You can head over to Four Peaks, AZ Wilderness, Ghost Ranch, Bad Jimmy's and many other spots nearby and get a far superior burger in the same price range. In fact, I think almost any sports bar nearby probably makes a better burger. If they sorted out their burger game this place would be a 4.5. Brew's, you can do better.

Great burgers and great service. Your order comes up quick and cooked perfectly. I recommend eating…read morehere

I had been wanting to try Matty G's at another location, but when I finally was able, they closed…read more I'm not frequently in the area, but as I was making plans, I made sure to include it as a stop. I'm a big sports fan so as soon as I walked in, I was all about the baseball and sports collection all around the restaurant. Lots of great fun facts about baseball greats like Jackie Robinson, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle, Babe Ruth, Willie Mays & many more. To eat, I went with the Triple Crown, which is a double steakburger, bacon and a fried egg. I added lettuce, tomato's and pickles. I thought the egg was gonna be fried all the way through, but it was more like a fried sunny-side-up egg. I wasn't gonna let that stop me from enjoying. Added the fries & drink combo to the burger and figured to upgrade to the garlic fries to see how they were done. While I waited, I enjoyed the decor and learn a few new things about some of my favorite baseball players. My burger was on point and great. I like the garlic fries, but I've always included rosemary, and I think that was missing for me. They have alcohol and a bar around the corner. I like being able to self-serve myself with soft drinks. Seating outside is patio pet-friendly and offers great shading if you come in the afternoon as the sun sets behind the building. They have this location and one in Flagstaff that I will absolutely return back for. I do think I spent more than expected, but it was a great quality burger. I just wish the fries came with it for that price.
